Agree that you need to watch out for qualiity in their fabrics.
If you need zippers, I recommend Amazon! I made a lot of bags so I use a lot, I get YKK zippers bulk for excellent prices.
I haven't been in Joann's in years, the quality is just awful, and the two quilt shops that are in reasonable driving distance in my part of the world just went to retiree hours so I'm exclusively shopping for fabric online now. My favorites are CaliQuiltCo, MerMer and there are several other good fabric sellers with excellent service and selections.
